#101: Universally Detested [Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury -- the worst governor in New York history]
Manage episode 435029060 series 3592825
Legend says Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury (1661-1723) was New York's worst governor: a nepo baby failson; a bully and bigot; a corrupt spendthrift; a sex pest with an ear fetish. Was he really all that awful?
And was he actually a transvestite?
